Chapter 12

To open a regular pill shop, one must have at least a junior pill pharmacist qualification, with a deposit of 50,000 star coins. After opening, the shop’s daily sales cannot exceed 50,000 star coins.

A medium-level pill shop requires a junior pill pharmacist qualification, with a deposit of 1,000,000 star coins. After opening, the shop’s daily sales cannot exceed 1,000,000 star coins.

However, a high-level pill shop does not require any deposit, and there is no limit to the shop’s daily sales, as long as the shop owner has a senior pill pharmacist qualification.

“It looks like I’ll have to find time to take the pill pharmacist exam,” Chu Ning muttered, temporarily abandoning the idea of opening an online shop.

Liang Yu was still quite trustworthy. Trading with him for medicinal pills should not be a problem.

Now that she had the money given by Xiao Ye, she felt a bit bolder.

With that in mind, Chu Ning closed the shop info page.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Just as she was about to get up, she heard Qin Zheng’s voice from outside.

“It’s the things I bought. Wife, continue resting. I’ll go open the door.”

Chu Ning’s curiosity piqued, but she still got up.

She opened the door and saw Qin Zheng carrying two large bags of meat and a large bag of snacks into the living room.

Chu Ning’s eyes flashed briefly.

Meat products and snacks!

Both were extremely expensive. She hadn’t bought them earlier when she went to the supermarket, not because she didn’t want to, but because she couldn’t afford them.

Qin Zheng had bought so much?!

“I saw there was no meat at home, so I bought some online,” he said.

“Wife, do you have any favorite dishes? I’ll cook them for you later.”

Qin Zheng stepped forward and handed the bag of snacks to Chu Ning.

“I didn’t know what snacks you liked, so I just picked a few. You can snack a little first.”

Looking at his handsome face, Chu Ning found herself lost in thought for a moment.

Quickly, she lowered her gaze and took the snacks Qin Zheng handed her.

“Thank you.”

“I’m not picky. Just cook whatever you like,” she replied.

In her previous life, she had fasted for over a hundred years and only took medicinal pills every few months to replenish energy, so she had little need for food.

After transmigrating to this world and inheriting her previous body, which had often been malnourished, food was no longer a problem for her.

“Mm.” Qin Zheng nodded and headed to the kitchen with the ingredients.

Hearing the busy sounds from the kitchen, Chu Ning felt a little more expectant.

Although she wasn’t picky, she still preferred better-tasting food.

She hoped Qin Zheng’s cooking skills were up to par.

Chu Ning sat on the sofa, snacking while searching for pill formulas to study, getting busy again.

While working, her hand with the snacks almost didn’t stop.

The snacks were delicious—far better than the pastries in the immortal cultivation world.

As she ate, Chu Ning quickly regained her energy and soon felt like she had recovered the mental energy she had previously exhausted.

With no time to waste, Chu Ning took out the medicinal ingredients and prepared to refine pills again.

The ingredients were already processed, so she could use them directly.

Chu Ning worked quickly and skillfully, soon refining a batch of pills.

This batch of pain relief pills resulted in eleven pills. Combined with the previous eleven, she now had twenty-two pain relief pills.

After storing the pill furnace, Chu Ning opened her light brain and contacted Liang Yu directly.

Liang Yu, hearing that Chu Ning was selling him another twenty-two pain relief pills and would continue to buy ingredients for pill refining, agreed immediately and transferred her the points for this transaction.

Chu Ning thanked him, accepted the payment, and went to buy another batch of ingredients for refining pain relief pills.

While waiting for the delivery robot, the delicious aroma from the kitchen made it hard for Chu Ning to focus on her pill formulas.

A while later, the robot delivered the ingredients and also took away the pills.

When Qin Zheng heard the noise, he came out of the kitchen to check and told Chu Ning that the meal was almost ready.

So, Chu Ning stored the newly received ingredients in her space ring and went to the kitchen to help.

Though the snacks were tasty, they were no substitute for a proper meal, and she was looking forward to the upcoming dinner.

Seeing Chu Ning enter the kitchen, Qin Zheng gently refused her help.

“Go sit at the table and wait for the meal,” he said.

Since he had said so, Chu Ning decided to cooperate.

After a while, Qin Zheng finally came out.

Just as Chu Ning was wondering why he wasn’t bringing anything with him, Qin Zheng came to the table and started pulling out dishes from his space ring.

Seeing this, Chu Ning realized that her beast husband seemed quite wealthy.

“Eat quickly,” Qin Zheng said, handing her the chopsticks, his gaze full of affection.

When Chu Ning met his gaze, her eyes flickered for a moment before quickly averting her gaze.

“Thank you,” she said, taking the chopsticks.

Qin Zheng smiled slightly. His wife seemed to like his face, which pleased him.

Chu Ning started eating, quickly immersing herself in the enjoyment of the delicious food.

Qin Zheng ate while observing what Chu Ning liked to eat.

After noticing a pattern, he started serving her food.

Chu Ning politely rejected his offers twice before accepting.

She had no objections to the food he served, and kept eating.

Her opinion of having a beast husband had changed; it didn’t seem like a trouble anymore.

With Qin Zheng’s cooking skills, she would be in for a treat in the future.

Qin Zheng was happy to feed his wife. Seeing her enjoy the food made him feel pleased as well.

More than half an hour later, Chu Ning felt about ninety percent full and forced herself to stop eating.

Qin Zheng was already full and told Chu Ning to rest while he cleaned up the dishes.

Chu Ning gladly accepted her role as the idle one and went back to her room.

Back in her room, Chu Ning decided to make the most of her time and process the medicinal ingredients.

She carefully worked with the ingredients she took from her space ring.

A while later, the sounds of activity in the kitchen stopped, and there was a knock on the door.

“Wife—” Qin Zheng called from outside.

Reluctantly, Chu Ning stopped her work.

“The door isn’t locked,” she called out.

Hearing this, Qin Zheng’s face lit up, and he pushed open the door.

Seeing her still handling the ingredients, he walked over.

“Wife, can I help?” he asked, his gaze eager.

After his wife had given him pills earlier, he suspected that she was a pill master. To his surprise, she was even processing the ingredients herself.

Chu Ning glanced at Qin Zheng.

“Do you know how?” she asked.

She had been finding the task of processing the ingredients troublesome, so if Qin Zheng could help, that would be great.

“I don’t know, but I’ve seen others handle medicinal ingredients before.”

“Could you teach me? I have six months of vacation, and I can stay by your side and help,” he added, eager.

For the first time, Qin Zheng thought a vacation was a good thing.

The thought of spending the next six months with his wife made him look forward to it.

Chu Ning was surprised.

When she remembered Qin Zheng’s physical condition, she understood.

“Sure, I’ll teach you,” she said. Having help was certainly welcome.

And so, Chu Ning began teaching Qin Zheng how to process the medicinal ingredients.

Qin Zheng was quick and capable, and since he recognized the ingredients, he quickly picked up the skill.
